Introduction
Shri Narasimha Nakha Stuti is a powerful 2-verse hymn composed by the great 13th-century philosopher-saint Jagadguru Sri Madhvacharya (founder of the Dvaita / Tattvavada Vedanta school).
It is traditional in the Madhva Sampradaya to recite these two verses of Nakha Stuti immediately before and after chanting Trivikrama Panditacharya's Hari Vayu Stuti.
In this stotram, Sri Madhvacharya praises the diamond-hard, radiant claws (Nakha) of Lord Narasimha. These claws pierced the chest of the invincible demon Hiranyakashipu while granting supreme protection, peace, and spiritual illumination to devotees.
